CALGARY, ALTA.\u2014Trimac Transportation is celebrating its 80th anniversary today, marking eight decades of delivering products that improve people\u2019s lives while connecting communities and building a culture rooted in service with safety. Trimac is proud to uphold founding values that have helped the Canadian-based company become North America\u2019s safest and most efficient bulk carrier.
Founded as MACCAM Transport in 1945 in Moose Jaw, Sask., Jack McCaig launched the company with a single Model A Ford truck. In the 1950s, Jack\u2019s sons, J.R. \u201cBud,\u201d Roger and Maurice, joined the business and helped to expand operations across Western Canada. Following the acquisition of H.M. Trimble & Sons, in the 1960s, the company became known as Trimac and relocated its headquarters to Calgary, Alta. Over the decades, a public listing, entry into the U.S. market and a series of strategic acquisitions transformed Trimac into one of North America\u2019s largest bulk carriers. In 2000, the McCaig family returned Trimac to private ownership.
\u201cFor 80 years, we\u2019ve safely delivered products that improve people\u2019s lives,\u201d said Matt\u202fFaure, President and CEO. \u201cWhat makes us most proud is the way we\u2019ve done it, by investing in our people, innovating with purpose and never compromising on safety or service.\u201d
Today, Trimac operates with more than 4,000 team members and independent contractors, running a fleet of over 6,000 tractors and trailers across its North American network. The company has earned repeated recognition for safety, workplace culture and people practices, including such honours as Top Fleet Employer of Distinction, Top Company for Women to Work in Transportation, Innovative HR Teams and Training and Development Excellence.
Most recently, Trimac was named the 2024 North American Safety Champion by the National Tank Truck Carriers, recognizing it as the safest tank truck carrier on the continent.
\u201cOur history is a story of resilience, relationship and respect,\u201d said Jeff\u202fMcCaig, Chair of the Board and member of Trimac\u2019s founding family. \u201cWhile the industry has changed dramatically since 1945, one thing has bever wavered: our people are our greatest strength.\u201d
To commemorate the anniversary, Trimac has unveiled a special 80th-anniversary logo symbolizing history, values and vision for the future. The design features the number \u201c80\u201d encircled by a road motif symbolizing continuous movement, progress and innovation. Three distinct lines within the design pay tribute to Trimac\u2019s founders\u2014J.R. \u201cBud,\u201d Roger and Maurice McCaig\u2014whose vision laid the foundation for the company\u2019s success.
Trimac celebrated its milestone at Heritage Park in Calgary, Alta., on Aug. 28, 2025. Festivities will continue throughout September, with regional service centres across North America hosting employee appreciation events.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":""},"class_list":["post-6631","news-releases","type-news-releases","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trimac.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-releases\/6631","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trimac.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-releases"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trimac.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news-releases"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.trimac.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
